"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."


ADULT LAP SWIM

Adult lap swimming is available Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:00-8:00 am and Saturdays 7:30-8:30 am during June, July, and August. 

LOST & FOUND

Think you left something at Friendly? Check out the lost & found area located inside the gated baby pool area, against the wall. Lost goggles are usually left in a bucket on a counter at the lifeguard desk.

RECYCLING

Yes, Friendly Park definitely cares about recycling. So much so that we’ve separated our trash bins (inside the pool gate) from our recycling bins (outside the pool gate).

Why? Because when we’ve had them together, our members would sometimes use them interchangeably and we would get fined by the city. If you’re fined too much, the city will stop the service. We don’t want that to happen and we don’t want our lifeguards (who are also our cleaning staff) to have to manually separate the contents in these bins.

So while it may take a few more steps, please take advantage of the recycling bins outside the pool gate. Thank you for understanding! 

FRIENDLY'S GUEST POLICY

Each membership is allowed up to five guests per day at the cost of $4 per person on weekdays, and $5 per person on weekends and holidays. This applies to all guests regardless of where they live. Babysitters caring for children that are members are free.
